A military plane has crashed on to ‌a busy road in the ​city of El Alto, near Bolivia’s capital La Paz, killing at least 15 people and injuring at least 30 others, officials have said.<\/p>\n

The Bolivian Air Force Hercules C-130 aircraft was transporting ‌new banknotes from the city of Santa Cruz to the country’s interior when it “landed and veered off the runway”, and on to a highway, before ending up in a nearby field, defence minister Marcelo Salinas said.<\/p>\n

It is unclear if the dead victims were on board the plane or were in cars when the aircraft crashed.<\/p>\n

The Bolivian Air Force said that two of the plane’s six crew members had not been located as of late Friday.<\/p>\n

Video broadcast on local media showed ⁠the aircraft was severely damaged, as ​were at least 15 vehicles along ​the road where the crash took place.<\/p>\n

Reuters reports that social media footage showed chaotic scenes of ​people appearing ⁠to pick up money that lay strewn on the ground following ‌the crash.<\/p>\n

More than 500 soldiers and 100 police officers worked to disperse the mob, including using water hoses to ward people off.<\/p>\n

Bolivian Central Bank president David Espinoza says the bills “have no legal value because they never entered circulation”.<\/p>\n

He did not specify how much money was being transported, but said the banknotes had arrived from abroad.<\/p>\n

Police and military personnel burned the remaining cash after the country’s defence ministry warned that collecting or using the new banknotes would constitute a crime.<\/p>\n

Authorities temporarily suspended all flights to and from the terminal, but they have since resumed.<\/p>\n
